Taxing Time

 

Christmas is around the corner. This is the time of year when everyone takes a breather, even if for only a couple of days. Even those who are not Christians benefit from the pause at the end of the year.

I often wonder why the tax season coincides with this wind down as tax season winds me up.

I am an artist and financials scare me and send me scurrying away from the papers and paperwork.

Work also reaches a taxing time. Everyone wants their stuff finalised before the silly season.

So apart from the government taxing you, your feelings and emotions are taxed.

Where did the time go? Too much to do and this year you said you would be ready.

Christmas decorations have been up since October, reminding you that your feelings, your time and your wallet are all going through a taxing time.
